About our fish and chip van hire in Kingswood
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We’re often asked to cater care home visits and gatherings after a funeral, with mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy.
Somewhere like Kingswood, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

What else we do in Kingswood
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Planning an evening event in Kingswood? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
What affects the price in Kingswood
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Questions from Kingswood
Is Kingswood close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Is Kingswood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you come to Kingswood?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Kingswood is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Classic food your guests already know
- All the chip-shop extras

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
